My Heart had, as usual, Pizza Duty. Again this year, we used Trader Joe’s pizza dough

The favorite: Apple, bacon, and brie (there is some shredded mozzarella on the bottom as a base)

This was the Experiment pizza – I didn’t think that the kids would like it but I was totally WRONG.. it was a huge hit. Ready-made cheddar bacon cheese spread, lump crab meat, bacon, shredded cheddar, and a sprinkling of Old Bay seasoning. The pizza was very reminiscent of a local favorite, the Crab Pretzel: a large soft pretzel that is covered in creamy crab dip and then set under a broiler to get warm and bubbly.
